butter to every sixteen pounds Of milk.
Farmers are throwing away large share
Of their profits by iniudIcious feeding.
As 8 good sign, the cultivation and use OF
corn fodder is increasing 10 New En-

belly to the udder, each as large as your

be like the letter with the point at the
head. A good Judge will pick ont the
good dairy cows from herd in the dark.
There are three very important requisites
in the keeping Of dairy stock which are
indispensable to success. On them hangs
the solution Of the whole problem. First,
feed; second, care; third, skill. AS to
feed. poor COW with good feed, will give
better results than good one with poor

Glover is running out in New England.
Farmers are abandoning the cultivation OF
the most valuable product OF the soil for
dairy uses. There is consequent depre-
citation Of the quality Of butter. The
Darlings Of Philadelphia, who make the
best butter in the country, attribute .
large part OF their success to the constant
and judicious use OF clover. All heritage
dried for use is better cured in the shade,
as every housewife knows who dries herbs
for family use. and the nearest approach
to that with clover is to cure ii in small
cocks, turn it once day for two or three
days. Clover should be cut with ma
chine. as the scythe and subsequent fork
ing and raking tends to waste of the leaves.
Glover hay and cob.meal supplemented by
corn fodder properly cured, makes the
best butter in the wourld, and these are
all within the reach of the average farmer.
Good butter cannot be made from ensi-
lage. e Burnett

A Balky Horse.

The Farmers (rish) Gazette gives the
following different ways Of treating balky
horses, which are now recommended foi
trial:
First, pat the horse on the neck, exam
inc him carefully, first one side, then the
other; il you can get him handful Of
grass, give ii to him, and speak enconr-
agingly to him. Then Jump into The
wagon, and give the word go. aud be will
generally obey. Secoud. taking the hore
ont of the shuts. and turning him around
in circle until he is giddy, will generally
start him. Third, another way TO cure q
balky horse is, place your hand over his
nose aud shut of his wind until he wants
to 90. Fourth, then, again, take coupe
OF turns OF stout twine sround the fore
legs, just below the knee. tight enough for
the horse to feel it, tie it in q knot. At
the first click be will probably go dancing
off. After going short distance you can
get out and remove the string, to prevent
injury to the tendons, Fifth, again, you
can Try the following: Take the tail OF
the horse between the hind legs, and tie
it by cord to the saddle girth. Sixth,
the last remedy | know, is as follows:
Tie string around the hors's ear, close to
the head. This will divert his attention,
and st,rt him.

snow.sheds in the Mountains.

There is nothing peculiar in the con-
struction OF these sheds, which have
to support only the burden OF the
snow. But on the line of the Canadian
Pacific Road, where the road crosses
the Rocky Mountains, sheds of Diff
ferent construction are needed. Ee-
fore the road was completed observa-
lions in tho mountains showed that
avalanches must be provided against.
A single avalanche covered the track
for distance of ] 300 feet and to the
depth of fifty feet. The result of these
observations was that the company
constructed four and O half miles of
snowsheds at an enormous expense.
The sheds are constructed rs follows |:
On the high side of the mountain slope
timber crib, filed with stone, is con-
structed. Along the entire length Of
the shed, and on the opposite side of
the track, timber trestle il erected {;
strong timber beams are laid from the
top of the crib-work to the top Of the
trestle, four feet apart and at an angle
representing the slope of the mount
ain as nearly as possible.
These are covered with four-inch
planking, and the beams are braced
on either side from the trestlo and
from the crib. The covering is placed
at such height as TO give twenty-one
feet hcedway froL- the under side of
the beam to the center of the track.
The longest of these sheds is 3,7OO
feet.-Youtb'S Companion.

Uscfnl Hints.

Clothes-pins should be kept clean and
dry.
A strong tea of common hay will pre-
serve the color of French linen.
In preparing walls for papering al /
one-fourth pound glu, to a gallon of
water.
Do not be so painfully orderly as to
make the family wish to escape from the
house for little freedom.
A pinch of salt added to eggs when
beating them to a froth, will aid the
work and not njure the eggs.
If SCOT is dropped on the carpet,
cover thickly with salt and it may be
swept up without injury to the carpet.
The taste of fish may be removed very
efrectually from knives and FORKS by
rubbing them with fresh orange or lemon
peel.
Paste for scrap-books is best made
from laundry starch, rs it remains clear,
while gum arabic and tragacanth may
discolor tho paper.
Before using new earthenwlre place

gradually till it boils; then let rem lin
until the water is cold. 1t will not bc

It h 10 b hoped they will some time
tire OF ringing the changes abo1t wom-
ems extravagances and follies. II 10 a.
vermont . subject - the terrible
mother-in-law. There Is just about ~
much basis Of truth in the one a. she
other. One paragrspher holds mp his
hands and walls his eyes ever the ruin
ous cost OF the average woman's dress,
walls that her jewels would bankrupt
any man. groans over her laces and is
positively lachrymose over her gloves
and shoes. One has gone so far % to
say: sShow me his wife's wardrobe
aud III tell You how much he il de-
fAulter."
All nonsense Show me . mans wine
bill; let me know what brand of cigars
he uses, If he is under suspicion.
The cost of all the trinktts and drnp-
cries with which an honest wife de-
lights to environ herself will never
cause HIM embarrassment. The man
who loves his wife well enough to wish
her to shine and excel among their So
cial surroundings is not going to black
en- her fame hopelessly by making her
husband thief
A pretty woman loves pretty clothes
as naturally as flower blooms or q
bird sings, and the man who can not
hold up that end OF the contract has
no right to make matrimonial engage
ments with them. There are plenty of
good, homely women who will be
thankful for smaller favors to make
such men happy.
Most men start out in double har-
ness with this idea, but are spoiled in
the running, and the wives are to
blame. The wise woman recognizes
this and doesn't allow it. If she needs
new riding habit, one of those hand
some but plain short skirt ones, she
asks him for the money to buy it. She
does not scrape and skimp herself of
other necessaries to surprise him by
riding out with him looking trim and
neat in gown that cost in his ewes
nothing. Any man with mathe-
NAUTICAL mind will soon do his figuring
from such premises in about this way:
If one gown cost no dollars, how many
gowns can she get for no dollars more?
Answer: All her gowns. Thus many
best intentioned men arc spoiled by
the best mentioned wives.
In the meantime he finds himself
with oil the more money to spend on
his own adornmelt, and indulges in all
the latest masculine fads thrown on
the market. His yachting fiannels and
silk hosiery are the envy OF his brother
boatmen. His trousers show just the
proper looseness, while the fit of his
cut-away frock coat viii only yield the
palm TO the jaunty perfection of his
business sack-coat. The next thing to
agitate the American mind will be an
effort to reinstate man in his natural
right of exerting himself to provide
handsomely for his wife.
In arranging your winter wardrobe,
don't be afraid of bright colors Scar
let cloaks or raglans will be often seen,
and the richest, warmest colors will be
used in the handsomest millinery.
The Choker" is the latest collar. It
is fastened behind.
Large, long and loose are character
